1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Thermal annealing is usually needed to direct the assembly of multiple complementary DNA strands into desired entities. We show that, with a magnesium-free buffer containing NaCl, complex cocktails of DNA strands and proteins can self-assemble isothermally, at room or physiological temperature, into user-defined nanostructures, such as DNA origamis, single-stranded tile assemblies and nanogrids. In situ, time-resolved observation reveals that this self-assembly is thermodynamically controlled, proceeds through multiple folding pathways and leads to highly reconfigurable nanostructures. It allows a given system to self-select its most stable shape in a large pool of competitive DNA strands. Strikingly, upon the appearance of a new energy minimum, DNA origamis isothermally shift from one initially stable shape to a radically different one, by massive exchange of their constitutive staple strands. This method expands the repertoire of shapes and functions attainable by isothermal self-assembly and creates a basis for adaptive nanomachines and nanostructure discovery by evolution.
